Question of the weekQuestion: "What is the best way to approach/show support to a transperson who is dressed and you are not in a public place. I ran into a person I was 99.9% sure was a transperson out shopping. After I realized the person was trans, I stopped and thought for a few seconds what to say and in this short time the person was gone. I hope I did cause any internal problems to that person because I 'read' them and they did not know I was a transperson too. "
